B
And I'm Jordan Myrick.
- [00:56]
A
And we are two incredibly unqualified but
- [00:58]
B
deeply in love comedians. We're here to help you with all things relationships. And on today's episode, we're doing your personal favorite, our hate comments.
- [01:12]
A
Why do we put ourselves through this?
- [01:13]
B
Oh, because the fans just love it. The fans simply love it. And I want to start off this episode by saying first and foremost, we did not get nominated for a Webby. The ultimate hate comment. We did not get nominated for it,
- [01:25]
A
but you know who did? Who? Tony.
- [01:27]
B
Ryan. Of course they did. We love Tony and Ryan. And morning got nominated. Who? Good mythical Morning. So in a way, I got nominated.
- [01:33]
A
Okay. And we called the Webbies. That's. That was. And I forgot. I called them and I said, if it's between Tony and Ryan and us, do Tony and give it to Tony and Ryan.
- [01:41]
B
Yeah. So we are so excited to cheer on Tony and Ryan because we love them and you guys know that and you all need to go vote for them.
- [01:47]
A
Yes.
- [01:48]
B
Because you can vote for them right now on the Webby's website. So we'll show that. Go vote for them. So that's kind of our first hate comment.
- [01:54]
A
That's.
- [01:56]
B
They said you guys saw that email
- [01:57]
A
we received this morning that was the first hate comment.
- [02:00]
B
I'm ready to move on to the next one. Are you?
- [02:02]
A
Oh, sure.
- [02:03]
B
To say.
- [02:03]
A
I just was gonna say. Is it just me? I feel like we've gotten less hate comments week. I think we used to get way more.
- [02:09]
B
We definitely get Less now, but one thing, and this leads into what I'm about to say is I think it's so interesting because sometimes it feels like people are kind of Team Jordan or Team Kendall, which always makes me laugh because I'm like, we're married. We like each other. So you actually don't have to pick you. Obviously, you know, everyone's gonna have their favorites. And, you know, between me and Kendall, I like Kendall more than I like myself. But you don't have to pit us against each other. I have this a lot at work with Gwynedd at work, people like, I
- [02:37]
A
can only like one of.
- [02:38]
B
Who's one of my. My dearest friends. And people will be like, I hate Gwynedd, but I love Jordan. I hate Jordan, but I love Gwynedd. I'm like, well, Gwynedd and I love each other, so this does not feel good. But recently we have been getting such an uptick in comments of people commenting on how much one or the other of us speaks and being upset about it. People feeling like one of us speaks too much, one of us speaks too little. And it's so interesting because when first started getting these comments, I would go back and look, and I would be like, oh, did one of us cut the other one off a bunch? Is one of us just monologuing? Which, first of all, I'll say, and I'm doing it right now, I think it's fine to monologue. This is our podcast. Had something to say. She jump in, right?
- [03:17]
A
And I think that, I think was what's nice about hosting a podcast with your wife. I really don't give an absolute. I'll cut you off. I mean, I'll cut you off at any point. If I think of any thought, I just jump right in. Um, it's rude, but I would never do it with another working professional. But with my wife, I'm like, you know, we. We've usually on the podcast, we're having a conversation. We've had some iteration of that conversation privately, probably because we've talked about literally. I mean, at this point, you know how it is when you've been together a long time. We're just repeating conversations to keep something in the air.
- [03:45]
B
Absolutely.
- [03:46]
A
And so I'm like, I know what you're gonna say. We're kind of finishing other sentences. So I only get anxious about it. When we have, like, a guest on, I'll be like, okay, I want to make sure.
- [03:55]
B
I'm like, not cutting the guest off.
- [03:57]
A
Not guest off, whatever. But with you, I'm like, yeah, if I wanted to say something, I'd say something. And in fact, sometimes I think you can see in my eyes that I don't have anything to say. So you keep going.
- [04:05]
B
I also will say that sometimes with guests, I think people have to remember because we had this with Soph Mosca when we had her on, she was so sweet, such a wonderful guest. But when she first came in, she was like, oh, this is my first podcast I've ever done. I'm nervous. And Kendall and I were like, do not worry. We've got your back. Like, we will jump in at any point. You're not out there alone. Like, something to remember about this podcast is that this is not an interview. Podcast is our podcast, and we invite people on to have a conversation with us, and we're all, like, hanging out. We're not interviewing someone. And I think people don't understand that. But I remember on the Sof Mosk episode, a lot of people were like, let her speak. So I went back and watched it, and I was like, oh, she's speaking a ton. But also we are also speaking with her, and, like, she'll say something and we'll be like, ah, yes, it's like this.
- [04:46]
A
That reminds me, because we were trying to make her feel comfortable and like.
- [04:49]
B
And supported, which that is supportive, and that's something too.
- [04:52]
A
And we're not always interviewing or having an episode with comedians. I think it's, like, sometimes not specific. So Moscow. But, like, we have people on who fully are not comedians or who own a company.
- [05:02]
B
They're not public speakers at all.
- [05:03]
A
Yeah. Like, for example, we had a travel agent on from for it. Now, she ended up being so great on camera, so able to whatever, but, like, you never know. It could be someone who's just like, I don't know. I work in an office. I don't know how to do a podcast. So with a comedian, we give much more, like, leeway to be like, we know you're going to monologue and you're going to whatever. And we're not worried about it. Like, when Cara's on, we're not like, is she not going to know what to say? But we're always trying to make people feel comfortable anyways. But with the two of us, I'm like, if I want to say something, I'll say something.
- [05:29]
B
And vice versa, 100%. So first comment we pulled up, this is from the episode with Jill. Someone said, I would love if Kendall would speak more or have the opportunity.
- [05:38]
A
That is wild to me.
- [05:39]
B
And someone said this wish Kendall had gotten a word in.
- [05:41]
A
What are you talking about? I really don't know what that is because I feel like I talk so much. The. The only time this is what I think sometimes happens, which I. This is embarrassing for me to say because this is ultimately unprofessional. But I have. I mean, I know a lot of people identify as having ADHD and have adhd, and there's nothing invalid about that. But sometimes I'd, like, I have to clarify a little that, like, you guys, my ADHD is really bad. Like, I can't drive if I don't have my medication. Like, I'm not literally not allowed to drive if I don't have my medication. Like, I am. So sometimes when we hit that 40 minute mark, I am a little not paying attention and, like, she's left the building. I haven't really told Jordan that, but that's, like, the truth of it. And I think Jordan can just see it in my eyes. Like, I'm just kind of not here. I'm, like, looking around. I'm kind of like, what, What's. Oh, that plant over there is nice. Someone's telling me, you know, Jordan's talking, and I'm just kind of not really paying attention. And that is embarrassing, and that's on me. But I think sometimes near the ends of the episodes, I can start to be a little more quiet because I'm. My brain cannot focus, and I feel just kind of like I'm forgetting to speak. And I'm just kind of listening to you like you're a white noise machine. Sorry, that's rude. But it's just the truth.
- [06:47]
B
So mean.
- [06:48]
A
But it's like, I'm not a person. I mean, this is why I would get sent outside in school. Like, I can't sit still, still for 40 minutes. Like, and we're sitting here for an hour, and at the last 20 minutes, like, my brain is like, I can't do it. So I think that sometimes near the end, I'll talk less.
- [07:02]
B
Yeah.
- [07:02]
A
I think I also similar because of adhd, I feel like I have an insecurity that I'm always talking too much. Because I do talk too much. No, no, literally, I talk too much. Like, I'm a yapper. I yap so much. Even I was telling my mom the other day on the phone, I was like, I have memories as a kid of, like, talking, and I could see in your eyes being like, she has not stopped talking for, like, two hours. And my mom was like, yeah, there'd be times we'd be like, driving on a long car ride, and you would just talk for like, six hours straight. And I wouldn't say, like, I will really talk. So I think because of that, I get. I'm very aware of, like, okay, Kendall, you've spoken this many times. You don't need to speak again. And especially we have a guest on sometimes. I will try to purposely, especially near the end of the episode, to make sure they get time in. Just kind of like, hold back.
- [07:46]
B
Yeah.
- [07:46]
A
So anyways, it's all internal. My point is it's not like I'm not allowed to speak.
- [07:50]
B
Yeah. But then this. The someone responded to that comment coming. You.
- [07:54]
A
Wait, what?
- [07:55]
B
So it was kind of one for each of us. No, a different person.
- [07:58]
A
What they say?
- [07:58]
B
They said.
- [07:59]
A
They said Kendall doesn't have anything to say.
- [08:01]
B
She does. She takes plenty of Jordan's time. She easily yaps twice as much while actually communicating less than half of the actual information Jordan does. Then they said, kendall is never going to fudge you because you're clearly a man and she's a lesbian.
- [08:14]
A
Wait, wait, who said that part?
- [08:16]
B
The commenter thinks that this person being rude about me wants to have sex with you.
- [08:19]
A
Well, and that's probably true. And that's nice of them to say at the end of that really mean thing. And also it's mean because it's so true. And I literally, that that is one of my biggest insecurities. And I know you'll find in the first episode of this year, I said, I'm going to try to use less filler words. That went out the window. I got to. I'm going to try to get back into it, but I. The number one reason. So I do a lot of work on the podcast, but the thing that I almost refuse to do is to do edits on the podcast. Yeah, we obviously have our wonderful editor, Blake, but, like, we send in, oh, cut this, cut that, do this social clip, whatever. I hate doing the edits because I hate listening to myself talk. I hate it. I hate it so much. And especially when I'm trying to find clips, because I'll be like, oh, I said something kind of. That would be a good clip there. But then it goes on for like five minutes and I'm like, why am I still talking? Stop talking. But I'm still going. And it can't be a clip. And it makes no sense. And I get tell 80 different side stories. And Jordan's very precise and very. Or concise with what you speak. You're very precise and concise, and I. I'm horrible at that. And honestly, I'm like, that's a nightmare. As a podcaster, I think I might be a bad podcaster, but I just can't stop talking. Even now, I can't stop.
- [09:36]
B
No, I think you're a great podcaster, and I think you say just enough. Are you actively trying to talk right now or not talk?
- [09:44]
A
Next question.
- [09:45]
B
All right, I'm sorry.
- [09:46]
A
You know what I think about in the mirror this morning?
- [09:47]
B
Tell me.
- [09:48]
A
I was like, you know, people who don't watch our podcast, they only listen. They may not know how long my hair's gotten. I was thinking that. Thank you for bringing up. My hair's gotten very long. It's almost to, like, the midway of my back.
- [09:59]
B
If you're just listening to the podcast and not watching, get yourself over to YouTube so you can see how long my hair is. How long? Kendall's hair is long.
- [10:05]
A
Well, because in the photo, like, when you're looking, when you're watching, if you're listening on Spotify, you're seeing a photo of my hair was really short. Like, blow my. Above my ears.
- [10:15]
B
Yeah.
- [10:16]
A
And now this is the update. It's almost midway to my back.
- [10:20]
B
I have to say, I don't even know where this comment is, but I did see it a couple of weeks ago. Someone commented on our podcast, this looks like Drew Barrymore is interviewing Dawn French. And I want to say there's nothing wrong with Dawn French or Drew Barrymore or anything, but I do think something that's very interesting is people develop this, like, blindness around weight, where if you are a woman or a femme presenting person, the second you are larger than a size 4, people are like, you look like the thousand pound sisters from the early season. People will be like, do you ever
- [11:01]
A
think, does anyone ever tell you you
- [11:02]
B
look like this person?
- [11:03]
A
And you're like, no, because I don't look anything like that person.
- [11:08]
B
So wild. People always used to tell me that I look like Amy Adams before I hurt my feet and gain some weight, like, years ago. Especially when, like, a rival came out. And that makes sense to me. Amy Adams and I do look like. We could be related. We have very similar features. We have, like, our noses are similar. We have, like, round features. My hair used to have more red in it. Like, we do have similar features. If I could say she and I could be like, cousins or whatever. Sure. After I gained weight to be like, a large versus a small, literally, someone one time tagged me in, like, a deviant art style drawing of Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter and was like, doesn't this look like Jordan Myrick? I was like, are you fudgeing kidding me? Like, what's wrong with you?
- [11:50]
A
It happens to everyone who's not just like, yeah, a white, thin person. I feel like. Because even I had a friend in college and I went to an acting school, so we were always doing, oh, what's this person's type? It's actually like a nightmare scenario. You have to sit at 19 years old and people say what celebrities you look like. And everyone's were so specific. And you go, oh, I see that, or whatever. And I had this friend who was a black guy, and he was like, every time they just say I look like Idris Elba. I am not in shape. I have nothing similar. I'm kind of nerdy. There's no similarities to me. And every time it's just, you know, he's giving Idris Elba and people would act like it was like a compliment. And he was like, it's just you being racist.
- [12:30]
B
It's crazy. Yes, yes. It's so nuts. And I'll see comments where people like, I'm surprised she's not trying to eat the microphone.
- [12:38]
A
What?
- [12:39]
B
I'm like, I'm a large. I'm a size 12. 14. Not even plus size. Are you guys okay?
- [12:47]
A
Well, that the Dawn French thing made me laugh because I think, well, I loved. You know, I'm like, Dawn French.
- [12:52]
B
Oh, I don French fan.
- [12:55]
A
But that I was bored thinking I was like, is it because I seem creepy when I enter, when I talk to you on this podcast that I'm
- [13:02]
B
sitting on my lap?
- [13:04]
A
Yes. I immediately was like, because I actually am a huge Drew Barrymore fan and have been for a very long time. Because when I was a little girl, people said I looked like her young, her, like an E.T. and I did. But it's hard because I'm like. I think a lot of kids maybe look like her. I think she just kind of looked like a generic.
- [13:17]
B
I do think you looked like her when you were younger.
- [13:19]
A
I did look a lot like her. Like, people would come up to me like, like teachers in my lunch school and be like, oh, my God, you look like Drew Barrymore. But I also feel like as an adult, I feel like I have a similar spirit to her, which I know is. I see the pros and cons of that. But I do think ultimately we're similar. I think the way she touches people on her show would charm me. I don't think I would have a problem with it.
- [13:41]
B
I think you would like her.
- [13:42]
A
I think I would like it. I think if I ever go on her show, which anytime I'm ever sent the thing that's like, you know, often you're sent by management or if you work with a new agency, like, what is. What do you want to do? I always, I'm like, I want to be on the Drew Barrymore Show. I would kiss her on the mouth. I would be like, how far do you want to take this? I can sit.
- [13:57]
B
We can sit on each other's.
- [13:58]
A
Laughs I'd probably try. But I do see people do this, Jordan. I can see that hurt your feelings. I can.
- [14:04]
B
What the hell?
- [14:05]
A
See, you know when you watch the Drew Barrymore show and you can see certain celebrities who are like, I'm going to make her cry. Like, I'm going to play this game with her. And so you will see celebrities like. And can I just say, like, being here reminds me of my childhood, being in this room with you today, because the mug you're drinking out of really reminds me of my grandmother's mug that, you know, and they're just like, really playing into it. Yeah.
- [14:28]
B
It's just like eating it. So emotional.
- [14:30]
A
That's what I originally thought, is that I'm kind of emotional and you're like, funny.
- [14:33]
B
Yeah.
- [14:34]
A
And maybe that's what they meant.
- [14:35]
B
Maybe that's what they meant. But people on the Internet love to talk about my weight. It's really, really kooky to me. And. But I've also had to be like, because sometimes I will say I am not plus sized, not because there's anything wrong with being plus size, but because I am not plus sized. And we've gotten to this weird place where it's kind of like, oh, anyone that I think is too big is plus sized. And that is bad. First of all, there's nothing wrong with being plus size. Second of all, plus size is an actual thing. Plus size means you are outside of the sizes that are standard sold in stores traditionally. So normally that means you're larger than a 16 traditionally is like, what that is. And I think it's important to mention that because plus size is not an insult. It's an actual sizing of clothing that, like, I would say a large portion of the population is probably plus size. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. But it's become this thing where it's like an insult that. And people will be like, oh, you're not plus size, honey. Someone needs to break it to you. I'm like, I'm not plus size. And you're using it as an insult. When it's not an insult, it's an actual measurement of sizing. And that measurement of sizing is very normal. So fuck off is how I feel about it. I could be plus size one day. That's great. It doesn't matter. But people acting like it's an insult rather than like a real thing is so strange. And then you see people on the Internet who are like, me plus size, blah, blah, I'm a size eight. I'm like. And then it plays into celebrities, right? We. You remember, like, the Jennifer Lawrence of it all, or like the Jessica Simpson of it all, where it was like, she's so big now. She's plus size now. And it's like, she is a size 6. That is not plus size. I just feel like it skews things.
- [16:12]
A
Yeah.
- [16:12]
B
So we have to talk about it more.
- [16:15]
A
If you ever watched Friends, Courtney Cox, who I think is incredible and is beautiful, wonderful.
- [16:21]
B
Yeah.
- [16:22]
A
But they. Her character is Monica, used to be bigger. And they put, like, a fat suit on Courtney Cox and whatever. I was talking to him the other day. I was like. When I was a kid, the way they talked about Courtney Cox's character, the way they talked about Monica on that show, it made me as a kid. I remember seeing her in the fat suit and thinking she was the size of literally a bus. Like, I remember thinking, like, no one's ever been bigger. She was huge. Like, I remember this picture in my head of what young Monica looked like on that show. And it was like a really big woman. I went back and watched the show recently, and of course she is wearing a fat suit, but she does not look the way that I remember. She does not look that big. And definitely, you know, it doesn't. It doesn't matter. I mean, they're still making jokes about her being big, and that's unfortunate. But the way they talked about it made you think. It just skews your perception where you think someone is so much bigger than they are. And, I mean, there's things like that, even what you said with Jennifer Lawrence, like, I feel like when Hunger Games came out, people were like. And it's cool. Cause, like, she's kind of, like, ugly and big.
- [17:32]
B
And you're like, what?
- [17:34]
A
Huh?
- [17:35]
B
Yeah.
- [17:35]
A
And I look at her now, I'm like. I'm like, literally, she is so. That cannot be the standard. She's so hot, perfect. And, like, has, like, she's very fit. Small.
- [17:46]
B
You know, small.
- [17:47]
A
I was a kid, I was like, okay, so that is. Jennifer Lawrence. Gotta be better than Jennifer Lawrence is like, insane.
- [17:53]
B
I think it also contributes to, like, material harm as well, in the sense of, like, places don't feel the need to provide plus size clothing because they're like, well, the biggest a person can be is a size 10 or whatever. No one exists bigger than that because we're considering these people that are size twos to be big because you have people that are double zeros that are seen as like the standard. So anyway, that's my rant about that. You guys have probably heard it before, but I'm just like, let's not warp all of it. Let's. Well, I feel like weight is neutral and it's fine and it doesn't matter what it is, but let's not use plus size as an insult.
- [18:26]
A
But it's an important conversation, I think, for this episode because I think we both get a lot of comments on our weight and you get comments on your weight on the podcast and that's a big hate comment we get. Even though it's not offensive to. I just. They mean it in offensive way, though.
- [18:38]
B
Well, this leads into another comment about wait stuff which is so interesting to me. So this is a person that doesn't follow us and does and appears to be a younger straight man.
- [18:49]
A
Okay.
- [18:50]
B
Post college is what I'm deducing from looking at their Instagram profile right now. They left us a message on an Instagram story from a while ago where we did the episode where we people send in their dating profiles and we give their dating profiles makeovers.
- [19:03]
A
Okay.
- [19:04]
B
I thought of a very fun episode.
- [19:06]
A
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
- [19:06]
B
Very uplifting. Loved it. The people. It's actually funny. Multiple people from that episode whose dating profiles we did reached out and have been like, after you redid my dating profile, I took all your advice and now I have a boyfriend or now I have a girlfriend. I would say like two or three people from that. So that we only did like five people. So if you want to see another one of those, let us know because we had fun doing it. It was really fun. We loved seeing all dating profiles and I would love to do another one of these. So the thing that we posted is a tour Instagram story. It's a gif of Rue McClanahan and it's like, how will be after we make over your profiles? And it's her being like, oh, I' that the vapors, basically. And then this. I have to assume early 20 something year old straight man responded to that and said, hate based. You love to hate people. That is your thing, right? Because you are fat and ugly and you like to make fun of other people.
- [19:52]
A
Oh my God.
- [19:53]
B
Quote, I'm fat and disgusting, so everyone should feel that way. And quote, who quoted Gross?
- [19:58]
A
Whose quote is that?
- [20:00]
B
I guess that's us saying that. Whose quote is that? Mlk.
- [20:06]
A
What?
- [20:07]
B
I thought that was interesting. It was one of the most, I would say, oversized reactions to something that we've had in quite some time.
- [20:12]
A
Yeah, I mean, I will say, yeah. Around stuff like that, people get really. I. I have found in my DMs whenever it's related to weight or looks,
- [20:23]
B
but nothing was related to weight. That is what was.
- [20:27]
A
I guess that's. Oh, yeah, I don't really know. I guess like judging people's profiles. Like, it's like, maybe they. Anything that's like they're being told that the reason they don't have XYZ is because of xyz, people get very upset.
- [20:41]
B
But I would understand if we were judging, if, if we were going on a dating app and judging people's dating profiles without their consent for their ask.
- [20:52]
A
Because we were so uplifting. I feel like, I feel like we were like, oh my God, you guys are so hot. Like, we would date you. Like, we were being, I mean, not even being nice. We were just being truthful. Like everybody was. We were being. We were not really judging. We were just trying to help, you know, but people. Yeah, I don't get that.
- [21:06]
B
That's very mad.
- [21:08]
A
Very mad. I mean. Yeah, it's like sad for that person.
- [21:12]
B
Very mad. Really interesting stuff.
- [21:14]
A
Okay, what's the next hate comment?
- [21:17]
B
This next comment says, the animosity between these two makes it feel like something is up.
- [21:22]
A
That's so funny because I. Okay, I. We've gotten this, I would say since the beginning of our podcast. I think it's gotten better. But I feel like when we first started the podcast, people were like, they hate each other. Which makes me feel crazy because I am like, so what are we giving off in everyday life that's making people think we hate each other? I think part of it is that we're doing a comedy podcast. So ultimately we are trying to nag each other because we're trying to like make something funny and we're just commenting like, oh, I know this embarrassing. I. I remember this thing Jordan and I disagreed on. That isn't a big deal. I'm gonna bring it up because it's a funny and, like, chastise you for it. Yes. Even though it wasn't a big deal or we already worked through it or whatever it is. So maybe that's what they're seeing. Because we're not. And we're not lovey dovey at all on the podcast. Because it makes me want to vomit into vomit. It wants me.
- [22:14]
B
Makes you want to vomit into vomit?
- [22:15]
A
It makes me want to vomit into vomit. Dang. And so we don't do any of that. And so maybe people are just feeling like the banter back and forth is too antagonistic, but people have always felt that way, and I find that very interesting.
- [22:28]
B
But don't people like being antagonistic?
- [22:31]
A
Some people can't handle it.
- [22:32]
B
That's wild. But you know what I'll say? You know what I'll say, Richie, you're not antagonistic at all. Yeah. You hear that voice? That's the voice of an angel.
- [22:41]
A
Of an angel.
- [22:42]
B
But so when, Richie, when we're being antagonistic towards each other, how does that read to you as someone who's not antagonistic? Comedy.
- [22:49]
A
Thank you.
- [22:50]
B
Amen. Whatever.
- [22:51]
A
But what is he supposed to say?
- [22:52]
B
Yeah, Richie, imagine. He's like, it actually makes me uncomfortable. You guys have some deep seated issues that you need to talk about.
- [23:01]
A
Yeah.
- [23:01]
B
She sees us doing all of our pervert stuff privately before we start filming.
- [23:04]
A
Well, it's so funny, though, because I. I mean, we have had. I think there's been two times we've had kind of an argument during recording and we. Well, no, one time. And we cut the episode.
- [23:16]
B
Yeah. We were at a bad place. Not even. Well, not. Not in our relationship.
- [23:20]
A
No, we were just in.
- [23:21]
B
We were both individually in a very stressful place, and we kept trying to record the episode and it kept kind of being like. Like that kind of situation.
- [23:30]
A
We were trying to do the same banter we usually do, but we were both feeling a little sensitive and it was just a lot of like, okay, can we cut that? Because, like, I don't. Don't say that.
- [23:38]
B
Like, not in the mood to talk about that right now or whatever.
- [23:40]
A
And then we finally. By the end of it, we were. We got. And then after we got into an argument and we just cut the episode because I was like, I never. We could have edited together, but I was like, it's my. It is our decision what goes up on the Internet. And I do. You wouldn't think it because I post so much on the Internet, but I am careful what I post on the Internet. I'm like, I don't Want. There's no reason for there to be a video out there that makes me upset or makes me uncomfortable or makes me feel like, oh, I wish I wasn't out there. Yeah, there's like no reason. But. So the only time there's been real animosity towards each other, the episode was cut.
- [24:11]
B
And that's true.
- [24:11]
A
I would never post a real argument you and I had ever.
- [24:15]
B
No way.
- [24:16]
A
We would never talk about anything. We actually argued about anything that we bring up. That's like, Jordan did this and it was annoying me. Is something that is like. So it's not like we talk about it beforehand. Like, are you okay if I bring that up? But it's. It's an. An argument quote unquote. That is so, so much a joke and so not a problem that we're fine to talk about it.
- [24:36]
B
It's dead and buried, baby.
- [24:39]
A
But yeah, I mean, the truth is behind like after the cameras turn off. We're very disgusting. But we just don't do that here because that's not what this is. That's just not what this podcast is.
- [24:48]
B
I know. I will say my. You guys remember my ultimate hater? My hater that would just leave paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs about me.
- [24:55]
A
Yeah.
- [24:56]
B
Seems to be no more seems they. My guessing is.
- [24:59]
A
Or maybe they changed their handle.
- [25:00]
B
Seems like they've moved on. I'm not seeing those big multi paragraphs things about me.
- [25:09]
A
But also, I will say it. I do think podcasting is a skill that you improve upon over time, of course. And so I think there's things that like, are not inherently bad to say on a podcast, but that you learn viewers, you just learn what people like and what they don't like. You learn what would hit and what wouldn't hit.
- [25:27]
B
Do you have any examples?
- [25:32]
A
Let me think. I think that, I mean, I would have to say things that I think people wouldn't like, but I think, I think specifics about people. Like, I think talking about specific celebrities, specific influencers. It's not like a no go. But I think people don't always. I think people take that really personally or they find it mean, interesting. And so I. We do that sometimes, but I think we keep it to a minimum because I'm like, I don't want to be like making a statement on a person
- [26:06]
B
unless we really don't like that.
- [26:07]
A
Well, it is.
- [26:07]
B
Right.
- [26:08]
A
I think we'll comment on people that were like, no, I don't care if they see this. But I also think there's people where it's like, well, I don't know a lot about them. So then the people who are fans of them are like, well, what you didn't know is that they in 2022 had a blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah, I didn't know that. So you know what I mean? Things that I also think you learn to not. And people are gonna laugh because they're like, you learn this, Kendall. Seems like you only ever do this, but you learn to, like, stop yourself from speaking on a thing you don't know about.
- [26:31]
B
Sure.
- [26:33]
A
I also think you just. There. I don't really have a great example, but there's just things you learn, people don't. You shouldn't say that. Or ways we banter that. I think. I think there's things that you maybe used to say or that I used to say to one another to neg each other that we wouldn't say anymore because we know people aren't gonna like
- [26:49]
B
it, like calling each other or something like that. Or telling each other to shut up.
- [26:54]
A
Yeah. I think stuff like that, which is so messed up.
- [26:57]
B
We love.
- [26:58]
A
I love each other to shut up.
- [27:00]
B
It's so funny.
- [27:01]
A
But I think things like that you just learn. It's not like an inherent. Like, we have a list that's like, don't say this, don't say this. I think you just learn over time, like, okay, people didn't like that. People didn't. Whatever. And I think it's a balance of like, we. I'm especially a firm believer. I think Jordan's much more likely to be like, okay, let's. I mean, you read the comments, you listen, you.
- [27:17]
B
Whatever I have to.
- [27:18]
A
I'm so rude about. I'm like, that's not my. That's not my job to deal with. I don't care. It's whatever, people. I'm putting this out there and whatever. You know, I'm much more. Because I do think you have to be. I think some people cultivate an audience that is not forgiving and an audience which I don't think we have. It's one of my favorite things about our podcast. I think you have an audience that's very understanding.
- [27:38]
B
We like most of you.
- [27:40]
A
Yeah. Very level headed. And we'll be like, we've received, of course, DMS before. That's like, hey, I'm a huge fan. The way you talked about this. I think maybe you just didn't like, really get your whatever. And I will take things like that to heart, of course. But I think we don't have an audience that's, like, nitpicking everything we say, which I value. And I think you build that type of an audience. I think some people are like, why do I have an audience that is so hard on me? And I'm like, well, because at every turn, you have made them feel like they can tell you what to do when you should apologize, even if you're. I will apologize if I like, but I'm not gonna apologize for something so that I don't get in trouble on the Internet. You know what I mean?
- [28:16]
B
Absolutely.
- [28:17]
A
I'll apolog because I'm sorry. Or I'll change the way I behave because I'm like, oh, I didn't think about it the way, I'm sorry, I'm not going to do something. And I used to. I think in my old podcast, I was really. I felt so anxious pressing record. I didn't press record. I don't even know how camera works, but someone else would press record. I felt so anxious because I was like, okay, everything I say, it's not what I think. It's what is acceptable to say on the Internet. How do I word every single thing perfectly? And I was just like, I can't. I think this podcast is more of a comedy podcast. And I was like, it's not gonna be funny if I do that. I have to just speak my truth. And then, like, at the end of the day, if I say something that I like to think, I'm a pretty good person. So if. But if I happen to say something that's not good, maybe we can edit it out or someone in the audience will tell me, and I'll have cultivated an audience I trust to not just be mad about everything. You know what I mean?
- [29:04]
B
Absolutely.
- [29:05]
A
So just to give a compliment to you guys that you're awesome, I think
- [29:08]
B
now we need to go on to something really important. Every single platform I'm on, people make fun of the way I say and how often I say sure, sure.
- [29:17]
A
We say sure the same way, and
- [29:19]
B
you got it from me, sure instead of sure, sure.
- [29:23]
A
I guess you're right.
- [29:24]
B
Sure, sure. You say it sure, sure. Yeah, sure, sure.
- [29:30]
A
Oh, my God, you're right.
- [29:31]
B
More traditionally, I say it a little more avant garde.
- [29:33]
A
We say it like down by the
- [29:34]
B
sure, sure, sure, sure.
- [29:35]
A
Yeah, sure.
- [29:36]
B
I do it all the time. Whenever I'm on Mythical, all the comments are like, sure, oh, sure, sure. Quotes, sure. Why do you say it like that? I'm like, I don't know.
- [29:43]
A
Shut up.
- [29:43]
B
Who cares?
- [29:44]
A
So funny. Because so Jordan and I have the same hairdresser. Michelle. Hi, Michelle.
- [29:48]
B
Hi, Michelle.
- [29:48]
A
We love you. I literally obsessed with her. Honestly, we should have her on the podcast. It's like, hairdresser. I don't know what that would be.
- [29:56]
B
She would do a great thing as a hairdresser. The idea of it being the topic hairdresser is very funny.
- [30:03]
A
You're kind of getting an insight into what, like, Jordan and I's brainstorming sessions or the podcast are like. I'm like, what about.
- [30:07]
B
What if the topic. What if the topic is outside?
- [30:12]
A
I love her, but the other month I was getting my haircut, and she was like, it's so funny because you and Jordan just speak the same. Like, your inflections and the things you say, you, like, are saying different things, but the way you talk is the same. And I was like, oh, my God, like, what? And she's like, both of you. Whenever I say almost anything, both of you go, a hundred percent, 100%, 100%.
- [30:37]
B
And I was like, oh, my God,
- [30:39]
A
we do do that. A hundred percent. We're so supportive. She's just being like, oh, I had a great day. A hundred.
- [30:45]
B
We're also both very active listeners. Sometimes I'll try to edit our podcast clips, and I'm trying to just get a clean clip of one of us or the guy, whatever, just talking. You can't, because Kendall and I are like this.
- [30:54]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
- [30:55]
B
Oh, yeah, 100, 100.
- [30:58]
A
A hundred percent.
- [31:01]
B
He's like, you know, you just want to let people know you're listening, that you hear what they're saying, that you're engaged.
- [31:05]
A
Yeah.
- [31:06]
B
But sometimes, you know, it makes it hard to clip a clip.
- [31:10]
A
I am not a clippable person. That is my biggest insecurity, like, with my job. I am not a clippable person.
- [31:16]
B
You generally are not clippable. Yes, that's true. It's devastating you because you ramble.
- [31:23]
A
I ramble in a way that is so embarrassing. And I. It is really, I will say, hard to have a podcast and then just go live your normal life, because I don't think I would have ever thought of myself as a rambler until I now have watched over 100 hours of myself talking. And now when I'm in just social settings, I'm like, kendall, shut up. No one wants to hear it.
- [31:48]
B
No, but I think that's wrong. And I think what you do is so endearing. You're also great at just going wherever the conversation takes you. Like, it's such a good skill to have. But when you're trying to clip podcast clips, which is such a specific need.
- [32:03]
A
Yeah.
- [32:03]
B
It is hard because you. You have longer thoughts.
- [32:09]
A
I have longer thoughts. Takes me a long time to get there.
- [32:12]
B
Everyone needs to learn how to spell
- [32:14]
A
my name and my name.
- [32:17]
B
That's true.
- [32:17]
A
Can I tell you something crazy?
- [32:19]
B
Say it.
- [32:19]
A
I love my manager, Kyle so much. She's amazing. I could go on and on about her. I don't think she knows how to spell my name. She's been my manager since I was 20 years old. She always spells my name wrong and emails. She does K, E, N, D, A, L. And I like. But like she's been my manager for so long and we're. I mean, we go out to D. Other. She's a family friend. Like she is the best I. She. I trust her with my life. I don't trust her to spell my name correctly. And now I'm like, should I. Maybe I'll just clip this and send it to her. Cuz I feel like bad now being like. Just so you know, I don't want to sound like I'm reprimanding her like, hey, you're misspelling my name in these emails. Yeah, but I'm kind of like just. I want to be clear. You know how to spell my name right. But I think it throws people off cuz my Kendall Landrith is what they're usually seeing next to each other. So a lot of people think like it kind of.
- [33:03]
B
There's just a bunch of Ls. They're just seeing a bunch of Ls right in the middle.
- [33:06]
A
Yeah.
- [33:07]
B
Yeah. Everyone spelled my name with a Y. Someone recently told me that their theory for that is because they think Jordan with a Y presents as more queer than Jordan with an A.
- [33:17]
A
So your parents wouldn't have known that.
- [33:18]
B
Yeah. So we're trying to homo code me when I was born. Well, actually, that's literally not even.
- [33:24]
A
I think your name is the most queer coded way because you were named after the lesbian golfer from the Great
- [33:29]
B
Gatsby who's like, famously like a liar and a homosexual.
- [33:33]
A
So you was.
- [33:34]
B
My parents deal with that.
- [33:37]
A
I. We were just watching Deadlock. Actually, I don't even want to say because you guys might. I'm going to say it.
- [33:42]
B
No. SPO okay. SPO okay. If you're watching Deadlock, Spoiler. Oh. What is it?
- [33:45]
A
I was saying I don't want to say this because then they're going to steal my baby name idea.
- [33:49]
B
Oh.
- [33:49]
A
But I'm probably not even Going to have a baby.
- [33:51]
B
So probably not.
- [33:51]
A
Yeah, not that I name at least. I'll probably have a baby that someone else has already named. Anyways, my point is, I love. So the show Deadlock, which is so funny, you guys have to go watch
- [34:03]
B
season two just came out. It's so good.
- [34:05]
A
Australian. And the main character in it is named Dulcie. And I think that is, like, the cutest name ever.
- [34:12]
B
It's really, really cute.
- [34:13]
A
And I'm like, oh, my God, if I had a little girl, I'd name her Dulcie. D, U, L, C, I, E. Yeah. So cute.
- [34:18]
B
I love that name as well.
- [34:20]
A
And I looked it up. Dulce means. I think it means sweet. Yeah, because like, Dulce de Leche.
- [34:26]
B
Dulce de Leche.
- [34:28]
A
And I was like, oh, I love. Because I think if I had. I always think, like, okay, if you had a kid, what would you want their main trait to be? And I think I always have been, like, I'd want them to be sweet.
- [34:36]
B
Really?
- [34:37]
A
I think that'd be the main trait I'd want. If I had picked one trait. Sweet, like kind. Like a kind.
- [34:42]
B
Oh, kind is different than sweet, though, I think.
- [34:44]
A
Well, I think just sweetie cutie. Like, I think I'd want them to be like. I think sweet and cute is like the. Or sweet and kind is like, the same. I'd want them to be, like, really thoughtful and sweet and, like, cuddly and cute and, like, nice and very. Like, like, I don't know. That's what I'd want. I, like, I wouldn't need them to be. You want them to be everything, but I wouldn't need them to be, like, high achieving. I wouldn't need them to. I just think if I could pick one, it'd be that they're sweet. And then I'm like, okay, Dulce's, like, the perfect name.
- [35:09]
B
That is cute because they're sweet.
- [35:11]

- [36:24]
B
Quince.com wife one thing I will say is that a lot of people had thoughts on social media about the clip of us saying that you have to be sick of your partner before you get engaged. Them.
- [36:34]
A
Oh, people.
- [36:35]
B
A lot of people, like, that's so wrong. And of course, you always get the people who are like, on their high horse. They're like, actually, every single moment I've ever spent with my wife has been a delight. We've never felt any negative emotion ever. So the fact that you're preaching this dangerous rhetoric, I'm like, oh my, my God.
- [36:48]
A
I think it's less like you're over your partner, more like you see them for what they are, like, fully. I think it like, when we got married, I was like, I know Jordan as a person. So clearly there's no rose colored glasses. There's no like, oh, but I have all these feelings, like, of course that I have, I mean, debatably stronger feelings, of course, than like butterflies I have, like, I would die for you, literally. But it's just so clear. Like, I see you so clearly. There's no white noise of like, I love and it's so pretty. And none of that's there. It's like, this is who you are. Seen the best of you. I've seen the worst of you. And I'm not feeling I'm marrying you for. Because I have a really clear, I'm saying this poorly. Hashtag, what a good clip this is.
- [37:42]
B
Kendall's new hashtag, what a good clip this is like, what a good clip this is. Everyone start leaving this.
- [37:45]
A
You can even do a hashtag. Everyone do a hashtag that was like concise everybody.
- [37:50]
B
Hashtag 80 pages on clips of Kendall. Hashtag, what a good clip this is.
- [37:54]
A
Hashtag like, what a good clip this is.
- [37:57]
B
I love that. I think that it just means you see someone as a fully formed person and you say, I don't just see you as, like, my perfect partner, which I think is very infantilizing and fake. I think it's saying, I see you as you. I see you. Yeah. Like you're saying, and you're good and you're bad, and I love you as a fully formed person.
- [38:18]
A
Yeah.
- [38:18]
B
And I think that's beautiful.
- [38:19]
A
I agree. I think it's, it's sweeter.
- [38:21]
B
This person said, hey, so let's chill on making fun of other people's religions when we were talking about highlighting the Bible. No, I won't. Sorry. I don't care. I love making fun of religion. It's also, like, people want to act like, it's like making fun of someone's race or gender or a disability. I'm like, you choose your religion, and if you didn't choose your religion, it's because you're like, in a cult or your parents made you do that religion and that you can leave it.
- [38:49]
A
But also, we're making fun of usually. And by I would say usually, I mean pretty much completely like, Christianity in America.
- [38:57]
B
White American Christians. I have simply no takes on Islam.
- [39:01]
A
So don't worry, we're not. I'm not like, yeah, I want to make fun of religion also. Like, I don't know. We have friends that are Christians. I, we both grew up. I grew up Christian. Like, I, I, it's, it's from. When you live in America, your life is so completely ruled by religion. I wasn't even in a religious household. I didn't come out until I was 18 because of Christianity in America. Like, Christianity is the entirety of this country and this experience. So I'm like, yeah, I'm not a Christian, but I do feel as though I'm able to make fun of Christianity. The bad parts of it or the, or the parts of it that I don't even, to be honest, believe are part of the religion, but people have put on the religion. I'm allowed to make fun of that because guess what? It's ruined so much of me and my friends lives. And I really don't care if it makes you annoyed or uncomfortable because I have friends who, like, couldn't see their wife in the hospital because of your little religion.
- [39:57]
B
Yeah, sorry.
- [39:59]
A
Amen. Go ahead.
- [40:02]
B
It's true. This is so fucked up. This random ass man says I'm a tarper. The fans of Tony Ryan's podcast, I'm a tarper. And they don't know who you are,
- [40:17]
A
Man.
- [40:17]
B
Are you kidding me?
- [40:18]
A
They knew how to cut Jordan deep.
- [40:20]
B
Are you kidding me?
- [40:21]
A
That's a deep cut.
- [40:21]
B
Shut up.
- [40:22]
A
That sucks. That sucks. And it's not even true, you guys. It's not even true. They sent us a wedding present. You're just jealous because you didn't get a fancy vase like we did. You're just jealous.
- [40:30]
B
Yeah. As we've said, they bought us our nicest wedding gift. We love them and they love us. I texted them this morning.
- [40:36]
A
You're so jealous.
- [40:38]
B
You're so jealous of me. You are so jealous.
- [40:42]
A
Well, you know what relationship we're giving with Tony and Ryan is. We're really giving freshmen and seniors. Like, that's what we're giving with Tony and Ryan.
- [40:50]
B
Yeah, we do know them. They drive us to school.
- [40:52]
A
Yeah. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, we know them. Yeah, they texted us this morning. They know us.
- [40:56]
B
They actually know us.
- [40:57]
A
Yep, yep, yep, yep. They know us. That's how it feels. I remember the seniors on the improv team when I was in high school. Like, if they even spoke to me, I would talk about it to all my friends as if. Which is really funny, because it wasn't like they were the. The. The head cheerleader. It was like people were like, oh, cool, you talked to that random person. But that's how I feel. With Tony and Ryan.
- [41:16]
B
Yeah. Someone called me a hobgoblin.
- [41:19]
A
Okay, I get that, Kendall.
- [41:25]
B
A lot of people were mad at us for not liking musk sticks.
- [41:29]
A
That's. You can't be mad at. That's ridiculous.
- [41:31]
B
You guys are.
- [41:32]
A
You know what? That. First of all, it's not like a natural homemade thing that your grandmother made that's been passed on from generations.
- [41:41]
B
Not cultural.
- [41:42]
A
And also, they tasted like absolute shit.
- [41:44]
B
They called us idiots. They called us ignorant Yanks.
- [41:49]
A
Okay. It's rude. I don't even know what that means.
- [41:51]
B
Short for Yankees Australia.
- [41:53]
A
Okay, well, that's a huge baseball team in our country, so. Yeah, that's a compliment.
- [41:57]
B
That is absolutely very successful. You know, it seems. It seems to be split because a lot of Australians seem to also hate musk sticks.
- [42:04]
A
Yeah, it's probably like. I mean, there's stuff like that. America. What? Like, what's in America? It's like. You're like black licorice.
- [42:10]
B
Yeah.
- [42:11]
A
People are split down the middle on that.
- [42:13]
B
Yes.
- [42:13]
A
It tastes like absolute. I don't know why you would buy that.
- [42:16]
B
Oh, one thing we can address is that. So in the clip where we talked about how you wish you had made music during the time that Juno came out.
- [42:23]
A
People. Well, that's what I was.
- [42:24]
B
People were really upset about.
- [42:25]
A
I was like, people were not supposed to talk about celebrities. People don't like it.
- [42:27]
B
People didn't like that. It. It. Honestly, I feel like maybe it came off in the wrong way or it was taken the wrong way because I like Kim Dawson a lot. This was not a music we listen to.
- [42:39]
A
I was just saying there's music right now. First of all, I couldn't have written that song.
- [42:45]
B
That's the difference.
- [42:46]
A
I could not have written that song. But I do think I could have sang it. And the thing is, now I like when I listen to like an Ariana Grande song.
- [42:55]
B
Yes.
- [42:55]
A
It's like, so I couldn't have done that. I can't sing like that.
- [42:59]
B
But you could have written it.
- [43:01]
A
No, I. I mean, I have no musical talent. I could not do. But that's my point. I'm someone who has zero musical talent. I think half of art, it's like when you go, you see. You see a thing, a painting at a museum and like, well, I could do this. And it's like, but you didn't. And that's the difference is that you didn't do it and you wouldn't have thought to do it and you didn't and you didn't do it and that's the difference. So I think there's no world in which I would ever be a successful musician. But I think if I had had the drive to be like, I know I'm not successful. I mean, I know I'm not talented at singing, but I really want to be a successful musician. I think that era would have been my time to get in. Because I do think, I mean, so much of music now, it's like, people don't write it, people. Half of it's auto tuned. So it's like, you really. What are you even doing? So I'm like, if I could have just had someone write me a song like that, I think I could have sang that song.
- [43:49]
B
Yeah.
- [43:50]
A
And sounded similar. But this is the thing. It's like, because I've heard that I could have done it because I could have done an impression of her doing it, I would not have naturally thought to sing like that. You know what I mean? It's easy in retrospect to go, well, I could have just done that. But it's like, but you wouldn't have thought to do that.
- [44:07]
B
Literally, of course. So just to clear it up, Nothing but love for Kimmy Dawson.
- [44:10]
A
But I think there are people who were successful at that time who probably can't. I'm not talking even about her. I have no idea. Yeah, but can't sing the way that, like, Sabrina Carpenter can sing. Can't sing the way, you know, these fam. These really good singers can sing.
- [44:23]
B
Yes.
- [44:24]
A
But they were able to be successful because it was a time when that kind of indie folksy moment was happening.
- [44:30]
B
Absolutely. I think you could have thrived more then during the. The pop Star girl era if I was gonna.
- [44:37]
A
I mean, the reality is I wouldn't have thrived at all in any of them. But I. I can't sing. And I think that someone who can't fully sing maybe could have done that song. That doesn't mean that she can't sing. I'm just saying I think you could kind of. You could kind of get through that song if you can't sing.
- [44:52]
B
Yes.
- [44:53]
A
You know, I mean, but you couldn't have written it. It. And you also maybe wouldn't have thought to do it.
- [44:58]
B
Absolutely. I agree. I get hate again.
- [45:01]
A
It's like I made it worse.
- [45:02]
B
Also say nothing but love for Kimmy Dawson. A lot of people were mad at you, okay. When you talked bad about millennials.
- [45:12]
A
I don't care. And I know I live with one. I. I live with one. And I grew up with them. All my siblings are millennials. I'm so over it, you guys. I really. If I. I had to sit through card after card after card every morning. 6am My sister driving me to school to screamo music. I don't care. I've been through enough with you guys. I've been through enough. I don't care. You guys are all people pleasers and you're shy and you say, oh, we're babies, and we live through 9 11. Okay, okay. It's not my problem. And that's the Gen Z in me. I'm like, this is not my problem. And that's what I live through. All that and Trump and. Which I guess you guys are like,
- [45:46]
B
you didn't live through 9 11. Shut up.
- [45:48]
A
I was alive. I was cognizant. I was in preschool. I was a baby. I don't remember. I was 2 years old or 3 years old. I don't know. But my point is, I'm sure that it's all very hard, very tough. I think the reason I'm allowed to talk about millennials is the fact that I'm, like, the most millennial coded person.
- [46:02]
B
You really are. Every moment of every day, Kendall's like, this is like that episode of Friends. Yikes.
- [46:08]
A
And I just have. I don't know. I think because all my siblings are millennials, I have that. Like, my humor is those touchstones.
- [46:14]
B
I mean, you're also barely Gen Z.
- [46:18]
A
No, I. I'm. I'm 99. When's Gen Z? I. I was born in 1999, Richie. I think it starts in 96. So I'm, like, in it. I mean, I'm in it.
- [46:28]
B
Okay. But it.
- [46:29]
A
But it's a weird generation, though, I will say, because I think the difference between 96 and someone raised. Born in 2002 is, like, it's so different. It's like the Internet became, like. Not the Internet was before that, but you know what I mean?
- [46:43]
B
Like, the Internet became more what it was during that time.
- [46:46]
A
So it feels, like, so different.
- [46:48]
B
Yeah.
- [46:48]
A
That I'm like, how can you compare those things? And even for me, like, there's little things where I. The grade beneath me. Also, Gen Z, they were given a grant by the school that I never got that was for computers, laptops, like Chromebooks. And what.
- [47:05]
B
I thought you were making a bigger statement about society, so I was trying to understand, and I realized you were just talking about a personal thing. You're like, my middle school and high school gave a grant.
- [47:14]
A
They gave, like, they got a grant for computers, but it was for that. That grade. And it was like, moving forward, we're going to have all these kids have their own Chromebooks.
- [47:21]
B
But before that, you were doing Mavis Beacon, typing on.
- [47:23]
A
Yes.
- [47:24]
B
Communal computers.
- [47:25]
A
So, like, the difference between those people. It's also, like, then Snapchat. It's just. It's. It was such a weird time where I'm like, I do think Gen Z. There's so many different types of Gen Z.
- [47:33]
B
Absolutely.
- [47:34]
A
I think millennials all grew up very similarly. You have little changes, of course, but I think you guys all very. I mean, you can meet a millennial that's 10 years older than you. And you're very similar.
- [47:43]
B
Yeah.
- [47:44]
A
In the things that you liked and the things that you. Whatever. But I relate more to millennials. And I think when I, like. I'm writing my book and I find that I'm like, I write millennials, like, the two characters in my book are millennials. And I feel much more, like, comfortable writing that humor and those cultural touchstones, because that's more what I connect with than people in my generation. I'm just much more mature. I'm like, much.
- [48:07]
B
She's Such an old soul.
- [48:08]
A
An old soul. And, you know. No, but literally, it was just, like, I didn't. I was the youngest, you guys. I didn't have the remote. Like, I wasn't watching what I wanted to watch. Like, I was watching what my sister was watching.
- [48:21]
B
You're a victim.
- [48:22]
A
I was a victim. Like, I remember begging my mom to make my sister let me watch her play Sims. I just wanted to watch her play it.
- [48:33]
B
It's one of the saddest things I've ever heard.
- [48:34]
A
It was. And I would beg, and ever so often she'd let me. And I would sit. I. It was like, the greatest day of my life. I would sit on an office chair next to her playing Sims, and I would just watch for, like, seven hours. And it was my favorite thing to do. That feels millennial code. You know what I mean? I didn't have my own thing. Stop looking at me like, I'm such upset.
- [48:50]
B
That's so sad. That's just such a sad thing to hear. I hate that we're ending the episode on such a sad note.
- [48:55]
A
It's just so. Little sister. It's like you just want to be doing what your older sister's doing. Well, I always tell you this Christmas Eve, my present from my sister was I got to sleep with my sister in her bed on Christmas Eve. Like, literally. What the is that? That's so weird. And I. Like, she didn't want me there. And I was like, please let me sleep in your bed. Wasn't allowed to touch her. Just in the same bed. And that was my present. What?
- [49:19]
B
You wanted to touch her?
- [49:20]
A
I wanted to cuddle. And, yeah, I wanted to, like, cuddle with her. She was like, don't touch me. And I literally. That was my. I was like, christmas is the best time of the year. I get to sleep in my sister's. She's like a teenager. She's probably been. Her sheets probably haven't been changed in months. There's Oreo crumbs all in it. And I'm like, thank God I get to be here. Wow. What a treat.
- [49:39]
B
Well, thank you so much for listening. Another incredible episode.
